God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.–Anonymous

I cannot let you grieve for me,For those who love must let us go.In comfort, please believe I’m free,From all the pain life can bestow,As I begin my world anew,Consider not what used to be,I’m sending happy smiles to youWhile I enjoy eternity.Lord, bless the homeFrom which I came,Yet brush each lonely hour away,With fond remembrance of my name,And a sunshine for a newer day.Look to the wind to find me there,Beside the hardest thing you do.I’ve left my love within this prayerI’m always watching over you.–Author unknown
